Abstract
The article focuses on the interpretation of "Ninny's Tomb" in Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream." Topics include the confusion surrounding the name "Ninny," originally thought to mean "fool," which was a new word in Shakespeare's time, possibly alluding to St. Ninian, a patron saint of Scotland and the article explores how this reference connects to Ovid's "Metamorphoses" and the symbolic significance of the tomb in the play's narrative, blending themes of love and mortality.
